Would like to see more comprehensive video on tasker sequencing in integration with smartthings and home assistant. I think nfc tags are underrated for routines and automation. A blackout (turn Everything off) routine for the spouse that doesn't like talking to a voice assistant is convenient. Near the garage and front door. I know these videos probably take longer than people realize because of how intricate the information is. I love your work.

We’re on tank water being rural and I’ve an nfc next to the tank opening. I measure water levels a couple of time a week in summer with a tape measure and so I’ve set up an iOS shortcut that takes the tape measure distance from rim of tank to top of water, takes it away from the total depth of the tank then calculates the current capacity along with a menu note and date time stamp in a “drafts” file and also txts the result to a list of adults in the household to notify them of current levels which acts as a reminder if we need to conserve water / get a water delivery (if rain isn’t forecast in the near future). The drafts file allows me to graph water usage against another shortcut added via “charty” to display water utilisation over time. Works well 🎉👍. Btw keep up the great work Reid, love the videos. ✅

@Smart Home Solver - there is actual a way to play spotify using NFC tags and the shortcuts app on an iPhone. It is a bit of a workaround but it works though: How am I gonna do it? - copy e.g. the URL of a certain playlist or song - go to your shortcuts app - add action: Open URL (paste your Spotify Link into it) - ad action: play/pause on iPhone more advanced: (add more actions to the steps above) - add action: set volume 0 - add action: set playback destination to: Living Room (or any other airplay devices) - add action: set volume 30 The reason why I first change the volume to 0 and then back up to 30 is that while running the automation, your iPhone plays spotify for a second or two till it changes its playback destination. In order to simply avoid that, I first "mute" the sound on my iphone to then bring it back up again, but then in the living room.
@unclekevo3864

The only issue with your method is the play/pause command doesn't work for the playlist URL, but only plays/pauses the last played song/playlist. It's an issue with iOS though, not your fault. Thanks for the tips!

Other advanced work around would be to expose your own personal API endpoint that scrapes an authenticated spotify session and performs actions for you. I have a few automations setup myself already and it works great!

It would be so cool to just bump your hand by one of these amd have the automation trigerred without searching for your phone in your pocket.

The problem with setting up via your phone, is that you have to setup each and every device. This is VERY time consuming, and when you get a new phone, you have to do this all over again. The better way is to keep the tags and automations centrally located on a smart home hub. Sure it's cool that certain versions of phones can store these, but by using one of the various hubs that are out there, one tag can be setup one time along with the automations. Then the user can give access to the people or devices that they want to.

I was using NFC tags on my old iphone7 , which didn't have background scanning but as such worked fine. Now I just bought the iPhone 12pro to be able to utilize background NFC but man am I disappointed. It doesn't work at all with the iPhone 12 for any of the keychain or card tags I used before. The only tags that work most of the time are the paper thin sticker tags that come on a roll. It looks like apple forgot to put an antenna in the phone. What a nightmare. . You can get a ( thin) tag to read via shortcuts but it will only trigger 50% of the time or so. Apple you made another expensive POS that just doesn't deliver ( And I am an iPhone user since 2007) . Man am I pissed

I can't seem to find anything on setting up NFC tags using Android and the app NFC tools ( paid version ). I was hoping you could explain to me how, using the tools app, I go about setting up NFC tags to run automations/routines on Android. I want to be able to turn on/off lights, TV, smart outlets etc. I have Google home, smart things, Aqara, apple home ( just on iPad, no iPhone ) and Alexa in my house. I've gotten the tag programmed to have it open Google home but I can't figure out where to go after that to add turning things on or off. Can I program a tag to run a Google home automation I already have set up? Can I have it open smart things and turn stuff on/off from that app? Any help would be appreciated.

What iPhone are you using? Is it iPhone SE (2nd Gen)? Also iPhones 7/7+/8/8+/X can use NFC tags in iOS 14 using the toggle in control centre. If it isnt there go Settings > Control Centre and look for NFC Reader. You need to create a shortcut with the actions that you want. Then use an app called NFC tools to write a shortcut to the tag. when scanned it should run the shortcut. This is a workaround but not as good as the newer devices

@LadyRenira
3 жыл бұрын
You can set up a virtual switch (usually it's a combo motion or contact sensor + switch in various hubs) that ports into Alexa, which you can then use as a trigger for an Alexa routine. Essentially, the NFC would trigger the virtual device, which would show as active or connected, etc. in Alexa, then prompt the routine. Make sure to have it auto-off either within Alexa or in the hub in the device settings so that it "resets" (best for a motion sensor + switch) unless you're looking for something to be triggered 2-directional (better for a contact sensor + switch).
